Network flow analysis is the art of studying high volume network traffic. Rather than capture every single packet, flow analysis allows network administrators to selectively record and filter network data, so they're only collecting the data they really need. Flow analysis makes difficult tasks like real-time network monitoring, user profiling, security analysis, and data mining dead simple. |

Attribution is a commonly bemoaned issue in cybersecurity, with many cyber experts claiming that the inability to attribute attacks definitively to a source is a problem in developing a coherent cyber-response strategy. However, a security researcher may have found a way to solve that problem, according to The Register. |

Are security threats against small and midsize organizations increasing, are these organizations getting savvier about their security, or perhaps both?
The question is relevant because, increasingly, small and midsize organizations appear to be using security log management software -- in its more advanced form, also known as security information and event management (SIEM) software -- not just to demonstrate compliance after the fact with regulations, but also as real-time warning consoles for preventing or detecting in-progress attacks or for pursuing forensic analysis. |

Tin whiskers are a vaguely-understood electromechanical process that is related to the use of completely tin solder as opposed to tin-lead amalgam solder. It is a problem that has been known for a decade or more, but it is becoming more pervasive due to a rise in reliance on electronics. Because of the near outright ban of lead based solders in some places in the world, the completely tin process has led to an increase in faults. |

The latest MessageLabs Intelligence Report from Symantec Hosted Services is filled with interesting and useful information regarding the current state of malware and e-mail borne threats as well as the trends over time. Of particular interest to me is the assertion in the report that "any given Linux machine is five times more likely to be sending spam than any given Windows machine." |
